Water runes are one of the four elemental runes. They are used to cast water-based combat spells in the standard spellbook, as well as many spells found in other spellbooks. The Confuse, Weaken, and Curse spells, often regarded as an inexpensive source of Magic experience, require water runes in conjunction with body and earth runes to cast. Some items, such as a staff of water, provide infinite water runes while equipped.

Water runes or packs can be bought from Magic shops, such as Aubury's Rune Shop in Varrock. Non-ironman players can also purchase them from the Nightmare Zone using 25 reward points.

Runecraft info

Players can craft water runes with a Runecraft level of 5 at the Water Altar (located south of Lumbridge in the swamp), granting 6 Runecraft experience per rune essence or pure essence used. Members can also use warped extracts to increase the quantity of crafted water runes by 250 per pure essence, requiring partial completion of Desert Treasure II and access to the Scar essence mine.
